What is the last movie you saw? and rate it.

Sicko, a documentary by Michael Moore. I'm beginning to really like this bloke. He looks at how The U.S. medical system is the most inside out and back to front in the entire world, resulting in no insurance policies being payed out on people who need urgent treatment, how they're basically worthless for anyone who wants to live a full life. A case in point about having a 'pre-existing condition': everywhere else for the sufferers it means more treatment. while in the good ol' USA it means thanks for supporting your money grubbing Insurance Company, now Piss Off!

Good bit at the end contrasting Great Britain's Free Medicare for all - even the poorest have a life expectancy three years longer than the wealthiest American.

And whose fault is the mess? None other than everyone's favorite Tricky Richard M. Nixon.

9/10 (bit slow in parts)

Dead Poets Society 11/10

Just got back from Premium Rush. Excellent, no-fat chase movie. 9/10

This film directed by Henry Hathaway is an outstanding example of what Hollywood could do when it wanted to.
The cast is perfect for the task of presenting a gripping story taken from a true life incident and has a terrific script that perfectly matches the action. James Stewart is superb as the cynical reporter who is directed by his editor, played brilliantly by Lee J Cobb, to follow up an 11 year murder of a police officer. Everyone concerned in the making of this film created one of the USA's best crime stories ever filmed.

That looks OK actually, and the youtube comments below it are interesting, for once.

I do fear that another session of Hannah and Her Sisters might be upon me tonight.:ack2: It's absolutely worth watching just for the music alone. 10/10*.

"Hunger Games" -- since I don't need to see it again for maybe 20 years, so-so. She did a good acting job, though. Stanley Tucci was funny. Sort of combo of Brazil, Blade Runner, that man in a bubble movie with Jim Carey, yea the Truman Show by great director Peter Weir. Plus good costumes. Best scene: when the little girl is shot by an arrow and dies in the heroine's arms -- very poignant.

If you decide to watch Call Northside 777, you cannot watch it except in sections, when you should click on CN part 2, CN part 3, etc etc the posters name to look for is mbarac88. It's a bit of a nuisance but well worth it. There are other people who've posted bits and pieces but they won't match up.

Ceremony: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1341341/

Score: 6/10

It's a movie about a guy who was "twenty-three and a half" years old who crashed a wedding with his friend to try to win back the older bride who was only interested in him as a fling. I thought it would be a nice chick flick for my wife and I to vegetatively enjoy together, but it was a bit wierder than that. My wife ultimately didn't watch it. At first I wondered why I was even watching it, but I had nothing better that I could motivate myself to do.

When it was over, I kind of enjoyed it.

Tale of Two Sisters: Korean film about two sisters coming home from a mental hospital to their father and stepmother, and the strange things that start happening in the house. 8.5/10, subject to change on rewatching depending on how clean the mindscrews end up being.

Reincarnation (Rinne): A film is being made about a "real-life" (in the movie) murder case. The lead actress starts seeing things, but she's not the only one. Excellent time-bendy ghost movie by the writer/director of the original Ju-on/Grudge films, which I also loved. 9.5/10

Drag Me to Hell: Gypsy-curse movie by Sam Raimi; very disappointing considering. Had nice bits, but that's about it. Needed more gung-ho energy from everyone, and more organic wackiness rather than just hitting a few Requisite Raimi Beats. 6/10

Unknown: Liam Neeson wakes up from a four-day coma to discover that someone else is now him. Some logical holes ignored (and introduced to sell the situation), but a decent Hollywood thriller overall. 7.5/10

Middle Men: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1251757/

Nice story. It kept me interested throughout. The two genius-idiots who kept getting into trouble were well portrayed.

Score: 9/10

watched The Dark Knight Rises it was good movie and want to watch again .....

Up in the Air: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1193138/

Although it is not the main plot of the movie, Anna Kendrick plays the role of a 23 year old female relating to people over 25 with her youth being the contrast to their relative age. The other movie was 50/50. It makes me think that maturity doesn't happen until 25 or so.

Another good story well portrayed.

Score: 9/10

I saw the tv movie 'Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D'

Oh it was so much fun and so bad in a very great way. One of the best bad movies. Hasselhoff, I don't really know what to say about him, just that he was not the worst actor in it!

The Lady From Shanghai (1948)

Directed and scripted by Orson Welles, this film has been much talked about over the years but it didn't live up to expectation. Starring Welles and Rita Hayworth, it was one of those stories involving murder without actually pinpointing who was supposed to be murdering who or why. The whole film had a surrealistic atmosphere and was totally unbelievable. I got the impression that nobody knew what they were supposed to be doing even though the production values were above par for a crime thriller. The ending in a fairground hall of mirrors was simply ridiculous.

5/10

Night of the Eagle (1961)

British horror story with Peter Wyngarde as a college professor of psychology who discovers that his wife is a witch involved in voodoo practices.
Infantile rubbish made for the younger (very younger ) segment of cinema goers. I must have had a brainstorm watching it in the first place.

0/10
